We recently received your FOIA requesting "any and all contracts as well as associated amendments, exhibits and materials, memorandums of understanding and other equivalent agreements entered into by MuckRock or Geofeedia LLC or any other social media surveillance software or equipment company."

This request does not pertain to Beaufort City Police Department as we do not deal with above agencies or any other social media companies, social media surveillance software or equipment company.
